Finish Line To Become Exclusive Partner Of Athletic Shoes For Macy’s, Both In-Store And Online

“This exciting agreement announced today with Macy’s propels Finish Line further as a leading omnichannel retailer,” stated Glenn Lyon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Finish Line. “Macy’s large and profitable store portfolio, its customer base that is concentrated in a demographic that Finish Line has not penetrated to date, and most importantly, its customer-centric philosophy and omnichannel focus make them an ideal partner for us to broaden our reach beyond our bricks and mortar stores and our website. The strength of our brand, our strong vendor relationships that allow for an extremely compelling product offering, as well as our industry-leading omnichannel capabilities created this attractive opportunity.”
